Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$145
Well detailed high-definition cast resin model with recessed surface detail. The kit has never been started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the sealed bags. The large parts that were never factory sealed have been inventoried complete including decals and instructions. In 1972, the U.S. Air Force issued the Advanced STOL transport program for a new medium airlifter that capable of operations into battle zones with short, temporary airfields. Two proposals were accepted for construction as the Boeing YC-14 and McDonnell Douglas YC-15 prototypes. McDonnell Douglas's design incorporated a supercritical wing, the result of NASA research. The design team also chose to use externally double-slotted flaps to direct part of the jet exhaust downwards, while the rest of the exhaust passed through the flap and then followed the downward curve due to the Coanda effect. Two YC-15s were built, the first flight was on 26 August 1975. The second prototype followed in December. The Air Force decided it needed a larger transport that would fly to standard, conventional airfields rather than into battle zones. In 1979, the Air Force formally cancelled the AMST program for both the YC-14 and the YC-15. As a result, the C-X program, the C-17 evolved.

Revell Lockheed F-94 Starfire 1st Issue - Pre 'S' One Piece Box, 1/56, H201-59
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good++
$225
Very Rare. This is one of the first three aircraft models issued by Revell back in 1953. This kit is correct with no rivets and no landing gear as well as the unique stand that was only issued with these three kits (and their gift set). This box is in unusually good condition, complete with all end flaps and has not been crushed - usually these thin one-piece boxes are in very bad condition. The box has never been repaired. Flaws include the marker writing on the top, the same size marker with 'K219' on the left short end panel, and very light general wear. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. Instructions are printed on the back of the box. It is very interesting to note that this kit is different from the 'Pre-S' issue in the following ways: no rivet detail, almost no panel lines, different part numbers, pilots are a part of the fuselage (busts only), one piece wings and absence of the pods at the half-wingspan line, no landing gear and no holes for such, very early 'Colortone' logo decals and a silver, two piece plastic stand of a unique design that was never used again.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
$145
Hardbox issue from the late 1950s. This is far and away the most accurate injection molded kit of this ship in the Post-WWII early angled deck configuration. The USS Lexington took part in many WWII battles in the Pacific. She was placed in the reserve fleet, but was then modified into an angle-deck Essex like many of her sisters and recommissioned in 1955. This configuration is modeled upon the ship in late 1950s. Like all Renwal ships, the details are excellent and the moldings very fine. Includes Regulus I missiles and launchers, moving elevators, full hull, flag sheet, full color decals and an air wing with F9F-8 Cougars (wings folded and unfolded), A3D Skywarriors and Helicopters. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: one helicopter rotor blade is broken off but present for repair. A few horizontal stabilizer fins are broken off the F9F-8 Cougars but are also present for repair.
